AIMS AND SCOPE
Pediatric Practice and Research Journal is published
quarterly for four issues. Its purpose is to publish high-quality original
clinical and experimental studies, case reports and letters to the editor.
Pediatric Practice and Research Journal provides
open access for academic publications. The journal provides free access to
the full texts of all articles immediately upon publication.
The Journal will not consider manuscripts any that
have been published elsewhere, or manuscripts that are being considered for
another publication, or are in press. Studies previously announced in the
congresses are accepted if this condition is stated. If any part of a
manuscript by the same author(s) contains any information that was previously
published, a reprint or a copy of the previous article should be submitted to
the Editorial Office with an explanation by the authors.
A technical review is performed to confirm that all of the required documentation has been submitted and to conduct a preliminary evaluation of the manuscript and supplementary files to assess suitability for the Journal. The manuscript will be returned to the Author in the event of any deficiency. Journal of Contemporary Medicine operates a blind review process. Contributions deemed suitable are then typically sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers in the field of study to assess the scientific quality of the paper. (You can see at the picture below) 
All manuscripts are reviewed by the Editor,
Associate Editor or a member of the Editorial Board. The Editor, Associate
Editor and the member of the Editorial Board have right not to publish or
send back to author(s) to be amended, edit or reject the manuscript. For
further review, the Associate Editor or Editorial Board member sends the
article to the refree(s). If necessary, author(s) may be invited to submit a
revised version of the manuscript. This invitation does not imply that the
manuscript will be accepted for publication. Revised manuscripts must be sent
to the Editorial Office within 21 days, otherwise they will be considered as
a new application. The corresponding author will be notified of the decision
to accept or reject the manuscript for publication.
Statements and suggestions published in manuscripts
are the authors’ responsibility and do not reflect the opinions of the Editor,
Associate Editors and the Editorial Board members.
The manuscript will not be returned to the authors
whether the article is accepted or not. Copyright fee is not paid for the
articles published in the journal. A copy of the journal will be sent to the corresponding
author.
Language of the Journal
The official languages of the Journal are Turkish
and English. The manuscripts that are written in Turkish have abstracts in
English, which makes the abstracts available to a broader audience.
Authorship Criteria
After accepted for publication, all the authors will
be asked to sign “Coyright
Transfer Form” which states the following: “ This work is
not under active consideration for publication, has not been accepted for
publication, nor has it been published, in full or in part (except in
abstract form). I confirm that the study has been approved by the ethics
committee. ” All authors should agree to the conditions outlined in the
form.
Pediatric Practice and Research Journal has agreed to use
the standards of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. The
author(s) should meet the criteria for authorship according to the
"Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals:
Writing and Editing for Biomedical Publication. It is available at www.icmje.org.
Ethical Responsibility
Patient anonymity should be preserved and all
studies on patients must include a statement that informed consent and approval
of ethical committee were obtained. Written permission from identifiable
patients appearing in photographs (as in case reports) must be obtained by
the author(s) and must be surface mailed or faxed to the Editorial Office.
Any experiments involving animals must include a
statement in the Materials and Methods section giving assurance that all
animals have received humane care in compliance with the Guide for the
Care and Use of Laboratory Animals (www.nap.edu/catalog/5140.html) and indicating approval by the
institutional ethical review board.
Note also that for publishing purposes, the Journal
requires acknowledgement of any potential conflicts of interest. This should
involve acknowledgement of grants and other sources of funds that support
reported research and a declaration of any relevant industrial links or
affiliations that the authors may have.
